 The holy shrines lay the courtyards with red carpets and cover the entrances with sand in order for the rituals to be performed easily and smoothly.  

Meanwhile, preparations are taking place on the Qibla Street of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, to receive the mourning processions in the first ten days of the blessed month of Muharram.
